After Spain, Morocco is excluding Brazil from the 20 -year World Cup

The Moroccan national team continued its impressive results in the U-20 World Cup, after its victory over Spain in the opening of 2-0, defeating Brazil, champion the title five times, 2-1 Wednesday in Chile, guaranteeing its qualification to the round of 16.
Morocco raised its score to six points from two games, to ensure the top of the group, which also includes Mexico (two points), which it faces in the last round of the group stage on Saturday.
After a first -free run, Morocco opened the scoring with a wonderful acrobatic ball from Othman, Ma’da, the player of the English Watford (60).
“I am happy to qualify from this group, which was described as the death group. It should be focused on the Mexico match and I am proud of the team.”
The Atlas Cubs doubled the result by Yasser Al -Zubairi with a left -wing shot (76), after the Portuguese player Vallekao also shook the net in the first match against Spain.
“I am not the best player in the match, but the entire team,” said Yassin Jassim, the French midfielder, and the best player in the Morocco match so far.
Brazil reduced the result at the time of lost time from the penalty point.
Moroccan coach Mohamed Wehbe said: “We suffered in the first half and corrected the mistakes in the second. We present a positive picture of Morocco.
The best result of Morocco was ranked fourth in the 2005 edition in the Netherlands.
Wehbe added, while he was crying about the spirit of unity within the group: “We will give the opportunity to others in the next match … This is only football, we know that there are more important things that take place in our country now, but it is important to give our people this smile and assure them of our ability to achieve achievements together.”
“It is a very painful result. We got opportunities to finish the match, but the football match lasts 90, 95, 100 minutes. We knew the difficulties of this match. I think we were better, but we did not score,” said Brazil coach Ramon Menezes, who supervised the first Brazilian national team in 2023.
This is the first time that Brazil fails to win in the first two games in the U-20 World Cup, after a 2-2 tie with Mexico.
